Compounds responsible for the aroma of cannabis and many other plants may offer a surprising new way to relieve chronic pain. Researchers found that several cannabis-derived terpenes significantly reduced pain in mouse models of fibromyalgia and post-surgical pain, with one terpene, geraniol, showing especially strong effects. Unlike THC, these compounds are not associated with psychoactive effects, making them a potentially attractive alternative for pain treatment.
Terepenes from weed are pretty much pseudo science, and the furthest this goes is “may be beneficial”…
Chocolate is also beneficial, “beneficial” is a very low bar. It doesn’t mean the stuff in them doesn’t work, it means it’s a very inefficient way to get that stuff. Like drinking expensive wine instead of just eating some grapes.
If you actually want to try terepenes, you do what people across the planet have done for thousands of years and make pine tea. A single pine tree provides limitless fresh ingredients year round and you can get a much higher dose with zero other stuff.
Weeds cool and all, but it’s always so stupid when people talk about the expensive chemical way and not the free and natural way.
technically all weed is just weed and really the only difference is the terpenes and maybe the THC versus CBD ratio. I used to think people who said the strains were different were ignorant and just experiencing a placebo effect until I smoked regularly and understood that the effects are indeed completely different and must be influenced by terpenes or other chemicals in the plant, cuz otherwise how are they so different?
Bruh, it’s not just two, there’s a shit ton of different kinds of both main types, and a few others.
That’s why “delta 9” and the original “spice” shit started out close to real weed, they used the closest chemicals to the main ones. Then those also got outlawed and they used worse ones, to now where I’d assume it’s just bathsalts and kratom.
That’s the maine difference.
Unless you’re smoking insane amounts of flower, like Willie Nelson levels, terepens are just flavor. And by that point you’re too stoned to notice.
Circling back to other methods of terepen consumption.
This is being pushed because it can be stripped from hemp when they make delta 9 shit.
As I’ve said a pine tree is all the terepen a community could ever need.
Im saying thc and cbd likely have the most profound effect. I said there were other chemicals. Also delta 9 is regular thc no? delta 8 and delta 10 and HHC and THCa and all that are the “legal” derivatives that aren’t spice.
Yes…
That’s what I’m saying. It’s not a binary ratio. Even with the same percentage of THC or CBD, that is many different types of THC and many different types of CBD.
And then there are others, which similarly have a lot of variations.
It’s only complicated if you still have simplified Mendelian view of variation. Real life ain’t 6th grade science man, shits fucking complicated.
The same plant will have variation on itself, even clones have variation.
